SUBURBAN RENEWAL

As their 25th anniversary approaches, Corrie Braydon surprises her husband, Sam, with an ultimatum: Either they renew their vows and begin their marriage over again or get a divorce.

Sam is flabbergasted; he and Corrie have been through so much together, and he can't imagine life without her. Throughout the joys of births and the sorrows of deaths, financial successes and failuresas well as natural and man-made disastersthey've shared it all. Why does she need proof now that
he really wants to be with her?

Morsi's latest is a sweeping story with larger-than-life characters and conflict; her attention to details and emotional nuances is quite impressive. A less talented writer could never have told this tale, much less made it so believable. (Feb., 384 pp., $5.99)
